1. Cairns uses NOMEX® thread on NFPA 1971 and NFPA 1951 garments.
   
   
2. All field repairs should use materials consistent with information on the content label.
   Example: Globe would not repair a PBI® garment with a NOMEX® fabric.
   
   
3. NFPA requires that ALL components, including letters, emblems, etc. meet minimum flame and heat test requirements through third party testing (Excludes NFPA 1999 Standard).
   
   
4. All repairs/alterations should use the same stitch configurations.
   
   
5. All stress areas should be reinforced, preferably using a bartack.
   
   
6. Never stitch through a Moisture Barrier or Thermal Liner. In fact field alterations or repairs of protective barriers should only be undertaken by trained personnel.
   
   
7. An equal amount of replacement trim must be added to areas that have been covered up by repairs or alterations.
   
   
8. When a section of a garment has been disassembled, the sleeve for example, it must be reassembled precisely as originally constructed at the factory.
   
   
9. Never perform any repair or alteration that will disturb the original performance specifications or integrity of the garment.
